[Margaret Pilkington]

I don't think that I have attacked you....I might be considered as attacking your logic and your argument.......I don't think I have slated you personally.

If you use even the simplest things in life wrongly, then you are in danger.

Every aspect of life has a risk attached to it....getting up every morning we do not know what we are to be faced with in that day.

The porn channels that you talk about, do not air in this country until very late...some are in the early hours of the morning....so young children, in the homes where parents are responsible, will be unlikely to be affected by them...and as I say the newer TV's have parental lock on them.
Porn of all kinds can be accessed via the internet at any time day or night....but then again responsible parents will try to minimise the risk to their teens by having some sort of parental lock on the sites that can be visited......even this is not foolproof.

We can only arm our children by giving them good role models and sound moral backgrounds.....this becomes harder for parents every day.

Back to drugs again....just because some drug users(who you perhaps think were responsible users) live to what you consider to be a good age, does not give weight to the argument that they are safe.

For every person you cite to have lived to a good age, there must be hundreds of people who have died early because of use of drugs......OK, many of these will not have hit the headlines because they were not famous....so it does skew the figures a bit.

There is no responsibility in using illegal drugs every person who uses illegal drugs leaves themselves open to the possibility of addiction to harder drugs and or mental illness.

I don't want to visit this drug argument/discussion again...it is a waste of my time, which is precious(and I might not have much left).
